A few weeks ago I was at a fabulous folk pottery show in NE Georgia and I
saw a Meaders rooster (Edwin's or David's, I'm not sure which. I would have
flipped it over but I had my two year old in tow, and I wasn't feeling brave
enough to handle both the pottery and Clara.) Anyway, I have never seen
another glazed like this one: It was a baby blue matte, but speckled like a
robin's egg. Does anyone out there have a glaze that in any way fits this
description? I'm firing cone 6 oxidation, but if you've got anything like
it, please let me know. I'm just looking for a starting point. Thanks much!!

I produced a similar glaze, though not speckled and I fired to ^10, several
years ago, but I see no reason this shouldn't work for you.
The colorant I used was a Mason stain, #6376, Robin's Egg Blue.
Here's a link to see it: http://www.masoncolor.com/newfiles/blues.html
You'll need to find a clear base glaze that produces the surface you want
and add 6 - 10% stain.
The speckled effect can be done by spattering with a toothbrush and a dark
oxide or stain.

wow, I'd like the recipe for that myself, whether it's cone 10 reduction =
or 6-8 in oxidation.

I have a robin's egg that I use (applied via sprayer) on it's own as well
as in combination with a blue ash and a couple of different whites.
An example can be found at the following URL (note: the glaze in question
is used on the interior of the bowl):
http://www.pbapottery.com/gallery/gallery_19.htm
A link to the recipe (along with 7 other glazes I use all the time) can be
found on my blog: http://www.pbapottery.com/blog/2005/06/cone-10-glaze-
recipes-reduction.html
The version I'm using is intended for cone 10 reduction and can move a bit
if applied liberally to the exterior of a piece. Hope it resembles what
you're looking for... pba.

Hi Bobbi Jo,
A ^6 glaze called Robin's Egg was posted on Clayart over 5 years ago by
Gus Morcate. You can find the recipe among others in the post here:
http://lsv.ceramics.org/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9912&L=CLAYART&P=R13288
I haven't tested it, and don't know if it's speckled.
However, looking at the ingredients and judging from the similarity to a
zinc/copper/rutile glaze that I do use, I'd guess it has speckles. It may
also be runny, so be careful.
The recipe:
Robin's Egg ^6
Flint 56
Whiting 188
Soda Feldspar 516
Kaolin 154
Zinc Oxide 86
Copper Carb. 20
Rutile 40
(from gus Morcate on 5 Dec 99)
Hope this helps,

For those of you that are getting a 404 error trying to access the glaze
recipe page on my blog, the .pdf can also be found on the following page:
http://www.pbapottery.com/process/glaze.htm
Apparently only a portion of the blog URL was hyperlinked in my first post
which was causing folks to be unable to find the recipes. Sorry for any
corn-fusion - enjoy the recipes... pba.

For those who are intereasted in such things - this glaze is short of
silica so it will not be durable - best not to use it as a liner glaze on
functional glazes as it will release copper into food.
It also has a high calculated expansion rate so i expect it will craze on
just about any body potters would use.
